High Performance UltraFlex GeomembraneHigh Performance GSE UltraFlex products are linear low density
polyethylene (LLDPE) geomembranes specifically designed to be
used in the most stringent applications where additional flexibility is
needed.
GSE UltraFlex products are available in a variety of colors such as
green for more aesthetic landfill caps1 and white for a solar reflective
upper surface2. The upper surface, lower surface, or both surfaces can
be textured for use in applications where increased frictional resistance
is required. The bottom surface can be comprised of a conductive layer
to enable liner integrity surveys to be performed following installation
of the liner3.
PREMIUM RAW MATERIALSOnly the finest raw materials are selected for High Performance GSE UltraFlex. GSE
utilizes LLDPE resin that has been specifically engineered for remarkable flexibility.
Rather than using plasticizers or additional fillers to enhance the flexibility, the inherit
structure of LLDPE provides the added flexibility. It is free of any fillers and nonessential
additives to achieve the highest performance possible.
BENEFITS OF LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENELinear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)
is specifically designed to provide superior
flexibility. The break elongation and multi-
axial performance of High Performance GSE
UltraFlex is well above the industry standard.

Stringent Applications
ENGINEERED ANTIOXIDANT PACKAGEHigh Performance GSE UltraFlex
includes a specially engineered
additive package to ensure the
geomembrane maintains its superior
mechanical properties. These
high quality additives are highly
resistant to extraction and will
inhibit geomembrane degradation
due to harsh chemicals, elevated
temperatures, and UV exposure.

OUTSTANDING UV RESISTANCEHigh Performance GSE UltraFlex has
been engineered to have excellent
resistance to UV radiation from the
sun. A well-dispersed premium grade
carbon black is utilized to support
the additional UV protection that is
provided by a smaller particle size of
carbon black. A smaller carbon black
particle provides additional surface
area to increase UV absorption.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
All GSE geomembrane production
involves three levels of quality
assurance. First, raw material suppliers
must comply with GSE specifications
on incoming resin. Before the resin
is unloaded from the railcar, GSE
verifies the raw material test results
that are submitted by our suppliers
by performing selected conformance
tests. The second level of QA occurs
during production. As each roll is
produced, it is electronically monitored
for pinholes. Finally every roll of GSE
product undergoes a rigorous Quality
Assurance program after production
to ensure the mechanical properties
are intact and meet or exceed GSE
quality standards. All GSE laboratories
are certified to meet GAI-LAP
standards.
